After Richard Pryor dropped out of the project early on, Gene Wilder pulled out soon after when he heard that Eddie Murphy said he would do the film but not with Wilder, as he didn't want to be seen as copying Pryor's style. However, the script still was being written at that point with Pryor and Wilder in mind, so some of the dialogue written for Pryor was instead given to Murphy. This is particularly noticeable in the street begging scenes near the beginning of the film (as Murphy was far too young to be a Vietnam veteran).
